Operation
Since refuelling: Display and st
or-
age of the journey data and the con-
sumption values collected. When refuel-
ling, the memory is deleted.
Long-term: This memory contains trav-
el data up to a maximum of 19 hours and
59 minutes or 99 hours and 59 minutes,
or up to a maximum of 1999.9 km or
9999.9 km. When one of these values is
exceeded (varies depending on the ver-
sion of the instrument panel), the memo-
ry is deleted.

Driving
Downhill speed control is deactivated as
soon as the r oad l
evels out again or you press
the accelerator pedal.
On vehicles with cruise control system*
››› page 245, downhill speed control is acti-
vated when you set a cruising speed. WARNING
The downhill speed control cannot defy the
l aws of physics. Ther

efore, speed cannot
be maintained constant in all situations. Al-
ways be prepared to use the brakes! Inertia mode
The inertia mode allows you to travel certain
dist
ances without using the accel

erator,
which saves fuel. Plan ahead and use the in-
ertia mode to “let” the vehicle “roll”.
Activation of the inertia mode
Condition: lever in position D, slopes of less
than 12% and speeds between 20 and 130
km / h (12 and 80 mph).

Start and driving
Description Depending on the equipment fitted in the ve-
hicl
e
, SEAT Drive Profile can operate on the
following functions:
Engine
Depending on the profile selected, the engine
responds more quickly or smoothly to the ac-
celerator being pressed. When the Eco pro-
file is selected, the Start-stop function is acti-
vated.
In vehicles with automatic transmission, the
gear change timing is changed to put the
changes at higher or lower revolutions. The
Eco profile activates the Inertia function,
thereby reducing consumption. The rest of
the driving profiles will activate the inertia use
function when the selector lever is not in the S
position, depending on how the accelerator
pedal is released ››› page 234
. When the ve-
hicle is turned on again, the function is activa-
ted by default to reduce consumption.
With manual transmission, the Eco profile
changes the gear change recommendations
to facilitate more efficient driving.
Dynamic chassis control (DCC)*
The DCC continuously adapts the damping
of the suspension system to the characteris-
tics of the road surface and the driving situa-
tion (speed, acceleration and steering wheel angle) according to the selected driving pro-
fil
e

. The vehicle's dynamic behaviour is also
adapted to improve grip on curves and turn-
ing capacity. Within the Individual profile you
can also adjust the DCC level in a custom-
ised manner.
In the event of a fault in the DCC, the follow-
ing message is displayed on the instrument
screen Fault: shock absorber regula-
tion
Steering
The power steering varies its driving modes
and adapts to the profile selected, thus offer-
ing the best behaviour for each situation.
Air conditioning
The Climatronic can operate in Eco mode
with particularly limited consumption.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*
Depending on the driving profile, the perform-
ance of the ACC varies, to allow more sporty
acceleration and braking or a more respect-
ful fuel consumption.
PreCrash system
The PreCrash system adapts according to
the selected configuration. The Sport driving
profile has specific settings to adapt to driv-
ing characteristics ››› page 24
